Plot

The movie revolves around sexual harassment occurring at work. This movie is loosely based on the Hollywood movie "Disclosure" starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. The film is the story of Kamini (Namitha) getting back at her ex lover Santhosh (Srikanth) by reentering his life as the wife of his boss, played by Nasser. Srikanth plays the creative head of a television channel Teen TV (though it does indulge in political exposes), who is married to debutant Hemamalini.

His life turns topsy-turvy when Nasser reinstates Namitha as the head of the TV channel, a promotion Srikanth anticipated for himself. Following this, it is the simple story with Namitha hurling sexual harassment accusations at him.

Reception

Behindwoods wrote "Indira Vizha is a movie that might leave one feeling despondent about the fact that even while brave film makers are coming out with neat and quality movies, such products find their way into theaters."^[4] Times of India wrote "With so much meat, all you need is a simple, no-nonsense screenplay. However, the director changes track frequently, delving into comedy which is as crisp as yesterday's papadam left on the dining table."^[5] The Hindu wrote "An ably fractured screenplay leaves Indira Vizha tottering even before it can take off."^[6]
